Calaveras chronicles#23= Yesterday sheriff Debasilio was all over TV news talking about
"Operation Terminus". Apparently this a BIG multi agency operation to shut down illegal unregistered grows. Update so far: 23 sites raided, 35 suspects arrested, 27,000 plants yanked out.20 tons for the dump truck to bury. Raids were timed to inflict maximum suffering on the farmer. Some sites on the news had plants that must have been in light Dep. greenhouses and were a couple weeks from harvest. The operation is still in progress and sounds like it will be going on until harvest time is over. Registered growers have nothing to worry about if they have a clean operation. Some locations get ratted out by neighbors but most are so visible by direct observation or google satellite pictures that law enforcement needs little additional help locating sites.Some sites were raided last year and they did it again at the same place this year.
A couple of registered growers were anxious to get on TV and display their grow sites and how it can be done right and legally. It looked like they even took a shower before the news crew started filming.These guys put a better face out there for the public. The news crews always trip out walking through a patch of 8 footers.
A year ago I met a straight couple from the Humboldt area and they told me about the large influx of eastern european mob types and asian farmers up north that came with big weed. The same is happening here. They have no desire to fit in the community. I am glad the sheriff is shutting down illegal grows, they are ruining the lifestyle in the mountains. Registered grows are numerous enough and grow enough weed to get the whole state high.
.......and yes......shame on the slob farmers.....you are not welcome in Calaveras county

It ends up the aforementioned "Sugarleaf rastafarian church's " garden which was part of the big bust was 7 ACRES in size. A woman church member being interviewed for TV news said it is permitted since they are a church [of the greenback] . I always knew them rastas liked to puff a fattie but 7 acres ? There must be even more rastas in Cali than LGBTQXYRZ folks.

Calaveras chronicles #24= Growers like using the cheesy looking inexpensive fabric fencing to conceal their gardens. I think it may be a requirement of the permitting process to half way hide the garden. Now that is mid-august it is interesting to see big plants a couple of feet taller than the 6' fence. Some gardens are so close to the road that car headlights can cause flowering problems so they add another higher layer of fencing to keep light out.
Another interesting look in the area is all the clear plastic trellis nets covering gardens. The stuff sparkles like diamonds in the sunlight. So much of the gardeners infrastructure puts a spotlight on their location.
The West Point area up here is particularly dense with pot farms. Last year alot of pollen was floating around, who knows if it was on purpose . Don't piss off your neighbor.
Farms that applied for permits last year continue to get denials . The biggest problem seems to be the requirement of proof that you farmed prior to the may 2016 date.Lots of people trying to get in on the green rush last year cannot show evidence of pre-permitted grows. They bought land bought a attorney and just went for it.
You basically have to admit you were breaking the law and show evidence that you were breaking the law. The county goes to google earth and you better have your smart pots in order if you want a farm permit.
As far as I can tell law enforcement has quieted down since the recent big raids.......but....they will be back.....beware unregistered mega- farms....whatcha gunna do when they come for you, bad boys.. bad boys....and girls
P.S. Growers please take a shower before coming to town, many of you smell bad enough to gag a maggot

Calaveras chronicles#25=I'll say one thing about the farm scene this year, I have never seen so many perfectly green, tall, even height plants in all my life. !00-200 plants in a patch and everything looks absolutely perfect. I'm sure Calaveras county will grow enough to supply the whole state so you other counties can just ship your product to Kansas[ oh colorado has got that covered] or Oregon[ oh they have got their own supply covered] or ....... D.C. they have a big appetite there, yeah Washington D.C. should work, bound to be a lot of smokers there.
One popular local hardware store's parking lot is the local Drugs "R" us. Valley people can come up and deal directly with the grower and pick up an ounce for about 1/3 of dispensary price. It is easy to spot a prospective seller/grower by profiling. Look for dreadlocks, brown beards, little waif girls or follow your nose, not pot smell but human B.O. smell. Don't deal with the 20 year old kids, too flaky.
It seems like it is mostly pot deals but white powder fuels a lot of harvest operations with crews feeding hungry trim machines 24 hours a day for a month straight.
The winemakers have a saying that it takes a lot of beer to make wine meaning that most workers would prefer a cold beer over a glass of zinfandel during the typical warm weather at grape harvest.
Seems it requires a lot of white powder to keep a Twister running all night long.
Growers please remember Golden rule #1 = Shower before coming to town

P.S. Your dreadlocks are full of bugs

Calaveras chronicles#26= One thing that really stands out here in Calaveras county is how divided the population is regarding commercial registered cultivation. The Butte fire is nearing it's 2nd anniversary and as a first time witness to a natural disaster it was amazing to see how the community came together to help anyone affected by the fire. It was somewhat like what is going on in Texas right now but on a smaller scale. Everyone but the national guard was here after the fire. Many recovery crews are still here cutting dead burnt trees today.
2016: calaveras supervisors sort of legalize commercial grows and the land boom starts.
Some realtors who cashed in on the boom now have tainted reputations with neighbors and others . It is small town America up here and word spreads quickly via the redneck telegraph. They did well financially ,openly promoting prospective grow sites to cash fat farmers.There are plenty of realtors in the area and if you are shunned you better get your truck drivers license. One guy probably saw the writing on the wall so he put up 4 greenhouses[but one has tomatoes in it] on his land.
Many long time residents are still leaving the area, fed up with the eyesore farms so prevalent in the area.Between the fire and the farmers their calaveras county is gone . I have said it before you big time farmers annoy a lot of locals with your sense of aesthetic or lack of. It really isn't that difficult to run a clean operation and it keeps inspectors happy too.
The way a natural disaster brought people together here big weed had the opposite effect. is it a unnatural disaster? maybe for some, definitely not for all

P.S. farmers words of the day: curb appeal

[40AmpstoFreedom]

You sound like a complete fucking ass hat. You know the piece of shit always staring out his front window calling cops on kids who simply walk by using the sidewalk. The faggot neighborhood watch guy that is 80 years old and just calls the cops on everyone. The corporate piece of shit that does anything and everything to regulate everyone else out of business. Anything to maintain your own self absorbed personal preferences and fuck everyone else right? Typical pussy control freak that can't handle change and just luv's his guvment.

Calaveras chronicles #27= The local once weekly newspaper came out today. I noticed that a 700 plant illegal grow only made it to page 9. This used to be front page news but now it is rather ho hum news. I guess it takes tens of thousands of plants getting yanked by multiple agencies to get on the front page nowadays.
Other news on the weed front here in calaveras county is that a county supervisor who is a clear upcoming vote against big weed is being charged with some sort of misdoing , having a conflict of interest of some sort. Big weed always uses the same tactic [succesfully] of paying lawyers to find some technicality to keep the general public or county supervisors from voting on the matter of legal commercial weed farming. SHAME, [somebody needs to ring a bell ala game of thrones] Big weed keeps confirming they fear letting the people vote. SHAME [ding]
The exodus from prime grow areas continues for those not into the scene. Talked to a guy who grew up here and now is about 50 years old. He is packing up and moving to the town of Murphys which is still in Calaveras county but is a little oasis that has managed to avoid big weed. Lots of people who are fed up with the scene but want to stay in the county
move to Murphys. It is more residential and small acreage and the big farms do not have enough space and to would be severely looked down on by neighbors.Plus Murphys has lots of good restaurants and wine tasting.
Many growers continue to ignore the 1/2 acre maximum size limit. I just found out the guy up the road has 1200 big outdoor full term plants going. I don't think they will fit in a half acre, but it is medical....................... ..
